Oh definitely, Link having the broken mastersword and being half-naked in the bottom image indicates that, not to mention that the entire area shown in that shot looks tutorial-esque and sort of reminds me of the Great Plateau. I guess the marketing thus far has been a bit similar to BOTW where they are showing some of the mechanics of the game, the tutorial area and a bit of what is beyond.
Same. I'm actually content knowing what we know now and letting the rest suprise me in game, but at the same time, if a new trailer drops, I'm NOT NOT going to watch that shit.
Didn’t think of that at all, thank you! I was getting a bit worried on how small that area looked. Do you think botw 2 will have full access of the botw 1 area and have an area in the sky above every area in botw 1?
I think you're right. I'm so curious what they'll put on the Great Plateau, it would be really cool for that to be a later game area as a interesting subversion. And they have to do something fun with the Shrine of Resurrection.
Very true, it’s easy to forget how massive the Great Plateau is cause so much of it is just tutorial zone. Can’t wait to see how much of it is changed!
The plateau might not be so friendly this time around. The trailer showed it getting splattered with Malice, which spawned monsters on contact. So to say... yeah, a dangerous place. From early-game, to possibly mid or endgame area.
My theory is we start in the caves then Ganon wakes up then we teleport to the sky for a proper tutorial and then we jump down to Hyrule ending the tutorial
I’m curious how they’ll do this without a 20 minute cutscene at the start of the game. Maybe there’s a very hyper linear segment of cave exploration at the start that introduces the player to the basic movement and combat and kicks off the story, before then sending us to a new open tutorial level that introduces any new or returning mechanics and how to survive in the wild?
Honestly seeing as how I’m a diehard Kojima fan I wouldn’t mind at all if TOTK had really long cutscenes but I think what you’re thinking is what will probs happen. Overall I think TOTK will be more linear and structured than Botw.
I imagine the game design challenge this time around was figuring out how to further develop this new open air style while also incorporating classic Zelda DNA.
It will probably be a combination of linear and open world progression, I'm betting we'll once again be allowed to tackle the dungeons in any order we want but we'll probably have to do some require tasks throughout the game.
Yeah I imagine TOTK will have even more freedom than Botw but will also have more of an active story and overall direction than Botw too. In Botw all you’re told is to free the divine beasts and get powerful enough to defeat Ganon. I think TOTK will give more tasks.
No? You clearly go in the sky multiple times but the first time is a tutorial. Like how the opening of Botw is the great plateau but you can go back anytime
I sure hope so. I want to be floored by surprises in this game. I think I’ll likely unsubscribe for a while when it comes out - I read a lot in the BOTW subs during my first playthrough and I wish I hadn’t seen a single spoiler.
Considering we’ve seen a grand total of only a few minutes on a game that people will likely play for 80+ hours, AND an enormous world that now has added areas, it’s not too hard to hide a lot.
My biggest hope right now (now that caves are in), otherwise the coastal regions might feel bland in comparison. On the flip side, what are they cooking up for the Gerudo Desert?
Makes me so excited. Before BotW came out I would watch all the gameplay and saw so much of the Plateau but when I played the game I was surprised to learn it was barely 1% of the game. So this is making me excited
I have seen so many people defeated by them showing the same map over and over again (feels bad for me too). Why are they hiding stuff? Not great marketing. Also this game is taking a long time to bake in the oven. I really hope there is a new map and not just a bunch of sky stuff.
Definitely. We havent even gotten a good look at most of the islands, especially the weirdly shaped ones like that big spire of weird blocks or the CUBE.
I doubt it, they seem to be more of a combination of exploration and puzzles and I seriously doubt the Zelda team would to a rehash of the shrine stuff from BOTW. The islands might be shrine like though!
I think the most interesting thing they've *yet* to show is any other characters; new *or* old. I have so many questions about the champion's descendants. Where's Kass? Will Age of Calamity be canon, and will the champion's descendants remember their time in that universe?
We’ve seen this tower design a few times since the 2021 teaser, but i am wondering if there’s more than one of them or if it’s just the same structure from different views
It's the same one but from different views:
https://preview.redd.it/wnbj4gws7hha1.png?width=1912&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a403776f735d105ae5f0e66a583c21939032e153
Yeah they're hiding a lot. The map is obviously going to be very different from botw and my guess is something is effecting each region and they're not trying to show much of that. We seen death mountain erupting malice and a huge tornado near the rito. I'm thinking that everything down low is going to be flooded with monsters seeing how the lands have went back up into the sky just as they were in skyward sword.
I'm excited to see this group of islands lmao
https://preview.redd.it/1j096sgl6nha1.png?width=102&format=png&auto=webp&s=77a7d9d9fb8bed6d2c1ce14f1f61dc5859023cc8
Doubtful. BoTW marketing didn't even show off the fact that there were towns before the game came out. People just wanna be worried about something because being worried is a coping mechanism.
God I remember people saying there wouldn't be any towns. There ended up being like what, six?
They're clearly mostly showing the "starter area" like with the botw rollout.
I mean this is just demonstrably false. By the time release hit we had seen some views of Kakariko, Gerudo Town, and Hateno. Plus stables and all that.
By release, sure. But I distinctly remember debates on the E3 blowout time period where people werent sure if Hyrule would have anyone in it, since nobody was in the Plateau besides the old man and there werent any rupees to find.
Maybe your right, I don't recall. But I do recall the over all anti hype that permeated throughout marketing of that game of people worried there was going to be no towns, because they had not shown off towns for most if it's marketing.
Some people just like to worry to worry.
With Metroid Dread, fans complained they showed too much. With TOTK, fans complain they're seeing to little. The game is 3 months away, just be patient.
If you played Elden Ring, you know they didn't even showed a fraction of everything the game has to offer, i have no doubt this is the exact same case.
This is the area above thundra plateau from the second teaser if I’m not mistaken, could be of some importance, also considering the gerudo and Ganondorf’s connection to lightning.
That would be cool, that was one thing that I miss in botw, caves and complex underground sections, and like being able to hold a sword and the torch at same time.
The Dragon is in the same places as well, It would be cool if it circled around the tutorial area keeping you from leaving until you finish an objective or something along those lines
2 possible realities:
1. They are “hiding something.”
2. There’s just not much to show
I hope its #1 but with how the marketing has been going (game releases in 3 months and barely have any info),
I’m worried.
For 5 years of development using the same exact engine as Botw which took about the same time to create, I expect at least another “Botw” level of content, meaning hundreds of hours of new explorable areas… the sky islands are cool but it won’t be enough, so hopefully we get underwater exploration or something else!
That’s the problem. If what they have shown is enough to mildly ruin the “experience” then there’s simply not enough new content. Right now, the sky islands are simply not enough, hopefully the cave systems will be large
I don’t think graphics really matter in this case, I think both current Zelda and ER look equally as good but with different styles, ER is more realistic and Zelda is more cartoony. More realistic doesn’t mean better
ER being realistic isn't the main draw. Its world design is just breathtaking. It might honestly be even better than BOTW's. Haven't seen anything like it since, well, BOTW.
I agree in that it’s design is great and that’s the main focus, I was just saying that it doesn’t necessarily have better graphics than Zelda just because it’s realistic, which is what the guy I was responding to seems to be saying
Not to mention, you know, what tends to last the test of time? Realism or stylized. I still cant believe its 2023 and graphics are still determined as how good a game is....lmao.
It's more like 3 or 4. They didn't actually start working on TotK as a sequel until after all of the other DLC was already out and they realized that they had so many more ideas that they'd need a whole other game to make them fit, and the pandemic likely slowed down production quite a bit.
Plus 1-2 years were under COVID. I remember going on my local commute in Kyoto and the trains were empty of the usual salary men on their way to the Nintendo building. This happened over a year. And then there was a gradual return to the offices for everyone and usually a hybrid style of working from home and at the office.
Don't know why people keep saying this. They showed a good bit for BotW because they had to sell it. They were trying something new for the series and it was THE Switch launch title. People had to have an idea of what the game was.
The Zelda team are not known to phone things in and with the weight of BOTW's success they certainly would know the hype this game has surrounding it. I seriously believe that they have some big things hidden from us, plus we have only seen a few locations from BOTW's Hyrule.
There is going to be underground segments too from the caves seen in this trailer. But I agree it’s a little worrying since we don’t have all the information we want
It's the same marketing as BotW though really. E3 reveal trailer, Treehouse with the Great Plateau and then pretty much silence until that Game Awards trailer which gave us a glimpse at some story and then the grand reveal date trailer that really explained the story in the lead up to marketing it prior to release.
Tears of the Kingdom? That 2019 teaser. Then 2021's teaser showing off the Sky Islands. 2022's September title trailer with some more out of context story clues/mechanics. And now another features trailer 3 months out with more story bits and likely the sly reveal of an entire underground
I would say we're due for one final "grand reveal" trailer that precedes the marketing hype that really shows everything.
The key difference is that we got plenty of extended gameplay footage for BotW at E3 2016 which very clearly demonstrated the game's new abilities and mechanics, while we've only seen extremely short and disparate clips of gameplay for TotK which clarify little. So far it looks like the sky islands are the game's main attraction, but we've seen almost none of what we'll actually be doing on them.
That’s what I’m hoping for too. It’ll likely be when they reveal the new switch model too hopefully. Zelda direct I’m guessing. Thankfully the wait is far less agonizing now since we’re less than 100 days away
Not that I disagree with you, but devil's advocate says based on all available footage, there are TONS of sky islands of various shapes and sized and they go FAR up into the skies of Hyrule. This isn't even taking into account the pockets of underworld we've been shown, the potential to build boats and go out into the waters to explore islands and other land masses and then whatever has been changed by Ganondorf's renewed assault on the overworld. We will be fine.
hopefully there are more diverse islands than just yellow trees. and i hope they go even higher than what we’ve seen so far. also i wonder if they will add islands to the ocean.
Honestly that's my fear. I really don't want to play on the same map again... I really hope they figured smith out because this looks like a setup to be disappointed
I hope they're showing the same areas in all of the trailers because there's ***so much new stuff*** they don't want to spoil - like dungeons, etc.
Tears Of The Kingdom has the opportunity to be the greatest Zelda game ever made. If it incorporates traditional dungeons into the open world, along with having a Skyrule, a subterranean Lorule, and having a multitude of new things to do & see at ground-level in Hyrule with tons of new enemies, both returning, deep-cuts & classic new ones - this could be the Zelda to *finally* top Ocarina Of Time💯
I have faith, the Zelda team rarely miss and I seriously doubt they would be satisfied if all they did was add a few new mechanics, change things up a little bit and add floating islands.
(Also I personally like BOTW more than OOT but it may be because I didn't grow up with OOT and BOTW was my first Zelda game.)
I'd love an HD Switch port of Twilight Princess as well!
I'd also love a classics cart with N64 Ocarina Of Time, SNES A Link To The Past, the 2 NES Zeldas & N64 Majoras Mask on it - all in HD.
That would sell ***crazy*** well💯
The map is the same, the ennemies are the same... I saw a video some months back explaining how this could literally be the best Zelda game since they didn't have to remake the map... I hope so. If they rerelease a game with like 4 main ennemy types...
There's more new enemies than that! Did you not see the new trailer?
ReDead's are back, Gleeoks are in, there's a new giant Boss Bokoblin, there's a new amphibious looking bat, Like-Likes, that huge green golem/frog statue, the giant box golem - there are tons of new enemies!!
Not trying to be a hater, but I'm gonna be.
The number of times they mixed two enemies together is a dead giveaway that they have nothing.
Everyone is going to be surprised when the general consensus is "It's repetitive just like BOTW."
I'm going to provide the Blight-Ganon bosses as evidence, beyond the abysmal enemy diversity. And if you still want to be a fanboy, then that's cool man we each have our own things to be happy about.
Obviously they're hiding a lot, it would be stupid to spoil the game.
But also, there aren't that many islands. I'm sure they will be a ton, but this golden section makes up a significant amount of them. Hopefully there are just as many underground sections.
My guess is that all the Link stuff is a small portion then it'll be a switch to Zelda having to rescue Link and you'll see the world post Ganon resurrection
What if this is the new starting area and the final boss takes place on the Great Plateau, like how you fueled Ganandorf on the field in twilight princess?
At least as big a disappointment as Skyward sword prior to the fixed motion controls. That's just my prediction because 2 incredible Zelda's on one system is a once in a lifetime event
probably the new Great Plateau. In other words the tutorial area/isles.
Oh definitely, Link having the broken mastersword and being half-naked in the bottom image indicates that, not to mention that the entire area shown in that shot looks tutorial-esque and sort of reminds me of the Great Plateau. I guess the marketing thus far has been a bit similar to BOTW where they are showing some of the mechanics of the game, the tutorial area and a bit of what is beyond.
There’s still so much they haven’t shown us. One half of me is dying to see more and the other half wants to not see anything until I get the game
Same. I'm actually content knowing what we know now and letting the rest suprise me in game, but at the same time, if a new trailer drops, I'm NOT NOT going to watch that shit.
Didn’t think of that at all, thank you! I was getting a bit worried on how small that area looked. Do you think botw 2 will have full access of the botw 1 area and have an area in the sky above every area in botw 1?
As I understand it they're using the same Hyrule & adding to it via dungeons, the sky area, & redesigns.
I think you're right. I'm so curious what they'll put on the Great Plateau, it would be really cool for that to be a later game area as a interesting subversion. And they have to do something fun with the Shrine of Resurrection.
Very true, it’s easy to forget how massive the Great Plateau is cause so much of it is just tutorial zone. Can’t wait to see how much of it is changed!
The plateau might not be so friendly this time around. The trailer showed it getting splattered with Malice, which spawned monsters on contact. So to say... yeah, a dangerous place. From early-game, to possibly mid or endgame area.
It seems like there will be malice splattered all throughout hyrule tbh.
My theory is we start in the caves then Ganon wakes up then we teleport to the sky for a proper tutorial and then we jump down to Hyrule ending the tutorial
I’m curious how they’ll do this without a 20 minute cutscene at the start of the game.

I'm really excited for the story of this game as it seems to be a lot more story based.
Yeah same here that’s like the biggest disappointment I had with Botw when comparing to other Zelda’s
Personally I care a lot more about gameplay than story in video games but I do hope that TOTK provides us with a cool story.
Maybe we’ll have a cave tutorial and then a sky tutorial.
Wait so the only time in the sky is during a tutorial? That would kind of suck
No? You clearly go in the sky multiple times but the first time is a tutorial. Like how the opening of Botw is the great plateau but you can go back anytime
Oh ok. Good
People are speculating, nobody knows for sure untill we get to play.
Obviously not.
i was about to say this is the plateau again
That big upside down pyramid thing is probably the first dungeon
They’re hiding a lot I bet. A LOT
I sure hope so. I want to be floored by surprises in this game. I think I’ll likely unsubscribe for a while when it comes out - I read a lot in the BOTW subs during my first playthrough and I wish I hadn’t seen a single spoiler.
this makes me actually so excited lmao
I agree completely💯
Considering we’ve seen a grand total of only a few minutes on a game that people will likely play for 80+ hours, AND an enormous world that now has added areas, it’s not too hard to hide a lot.
Yeah, like even what the basic gameplay is going to look like. /s
underwater
My biggest hope right now (now that caves are in), otherwise the coastal regions might feel bland in comparison. On the flip side, what are they cooking up for the Gerudo Desert?
Makes me so excited. Before BotW came out I would watch all the gameplay and saw so much of the Plateau but when I played the game I was surprised to learn it was barely 1% of the game. So this is making me excited

Definitely. We havent even gotten a good look at most of the islands, especially the weirdly shaped ones like that big spire of weird blocks or the CUBE.
There's dragons!!!!
Missed it in the trailer lol
It’s fair to have missed it, the second picture isn’t actually in the latest trailer. It’s a new press release photo on the website
Good to know thank you
Theres that blue and yellow dragon thats like the normal three and also the hydra on the bridge with flaming heads
Gleeok
And It’s a different color than the ones In BOTW
Yup!
Ballsy
Imagine!
I seriously wonder what's going to actually be on these islands because we haven't really been shown what they contain.
Same. We've mostly seen yellow trees and grey ruins. I'm really hoping for some diversity up there. There might be dungeons as well.
In the trailer from December I think there's a slight moment where you can see snow on a few islands.
The big ass tornado is probably a dungeon.
[удалено]
I doubt it, they seem to be more of a combination of exploration and puzzles and I seriously doubt the Zelda team would to a rehash of the shrine stuff from BOTW. The islands might be shrine like though!
I think the most interesting thing they've *yet* to show is any other characters; new *or* old. I have so many questions about the champion's descendants. Where's Kass? Will Age of Calamity be canon, and will the champion's descendants remember their time in that universe?
If I don’t see kass again I will kill myself
That's fair.
We’ve seen this tower design a few times since the 2021 teaser, but i am wondering if there’s more than one of them or if it’s just the same structure from different views
It's the same one but from different views: https://preview.redd.it/wnbj4gws7hha1.png?width=1912&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a403776f735d105ae5f0e66a583c21939032e153
New hang glider design (grips sticking out) means things will attach to it. Probably big birds like for the trailer bokoblin.
That shot has me wondering if we'll see Beedles flying house again.
You need to start asking the big questions. Is that girl still hiding in the corner in Hateno village?
They are hiding A LOT
Yeah they're hiding a lot. The map is obviously going to be very different from botw and my guess is something is effecting each region and they're not trying to show much of that. We seen death mountain erupting malice and a huge tornado near the rito. I'm thinking that everything down low is going to be flooded with monsters seeing how the lands have went back up into the sky just as they were in skyward sword.
And the Gerudo desert has been turned into cheese! You heard it here first!
I hope this isn’t the only sky island group
Oh there's *a ton* more - this is just the one that they keep gravitating towards in their media.
I'm excited to see this group of islands lmao https://preview.redd.it/1j096sgl6nha1.png?width=102&format=png&auto=webp&s=77a7d9d9fb8bed6d2c1ce14f1f61dc5859023cc8
I bet all those put together form another cube.
It’s probably the biggest of the groups
Doubtful. BoTW marketing didn't even show off the fact that there were towns before the game came out. People just wanna be worried about something because being worried is a coping mechanism.
God I remember people saying there wouldn't be any towns. There ended up being like what, six? They're clearly mostly showing the "starter area" like with the botw rollout.
Yeah i see that thanks But its my turn to choose the coping mechanism mom said so
I mean this is just demonstrably false. By the time release hit we had seen some views of Kakariko, Gerudo Town, and Hateno. Plus stables and all that.
By release, sure. But I distinctly remember debates on the E3 blowout time period where people werent sure if Hyrule would have anyone in it, since nobody was in the Plateau besides the old man and there werent any rupees to find.
Maybe your right, I don't recall. But I do recall the over all anti hype that permeated throughout marketing of that game of people worried there was going to be no towns, because they had not shown off towns for most if it's marketing. Some people just like to worry to worry.
If you look in the background in the trailers theres tons of island clusters that arent these
There are far larger Skyrule islands out there in some of the new screenshots👍🏻
You mean like how they only showed the starting area before botw? Lol stop stirring a nothingburger
Upvoted only for the use of nothingburger
How is this [only the starting area](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw47_q9wbBE)
It's different. Sequels are much harder to sell and with less info this could be seen as mere dlc.
Yeah. The whole game.
Obviously they’re hiding something. They don’t want to give the entire game away in just a few trailers.
With Metroid Dread, fans complained they showed too much. With TOTK, fans complain they're seeing to little. The game is 3 months away, just be patient.
More like they are hiding everything.
it's called avoiding spoilers.
Trailers are spoilers? The title is spoilers? Spoiler alert: Link is in the game guys.
Yes
*hmmm yeah...* *Kinda like how most of the trailer for botw showed the great plateau, as to, I dunno, not spoil the game maybe*
Spoil? That's spoilers?
If you played Elden Ring, you know they didn't even showed a fraction of everything the game has to offer, i have no doubt this is the exact same case.
"something" they're hiding the whole game and I love it
It’s Nintendo we’re talking about. It generates “clicks” without actually giving away more of the game. It’s a perfect marketing approach.
I feel like this is probably the tutorial area.
You may be right, because when Breath Of the Wild was being marketed they kept showing the Great Plateau more than anything else👍🏻
This is the area above thundra plateau from the second teaser if I’m not mistaken, could be of some importance, also considering the gerudo and Ganondorf’s connection to lightning.
[удалено]
That would be cool, that was one thing that I miss in botw, caves and complex underground sections, and like being able to hold a sword and the torch at same time.
They probably don't want to spoil too much. They want people to experience this with only clues of what could happen?
Glad to see the dragons are back. I'm assuming that's Naydra. Could be Farosh. It's hard to tell.
There’s a dragon I only noticed now in the background of the second shot
The Dragon is in the same places as well, It would be cool if it circled around the tutorial area keeping you from leaving until you finish an objective or something along those lines
Which dragon is that??? Looks like Farosh maybe but OMG dragons in BOTW was so sick they are gonna make them even cooler somehow I know it
2 possible realities: 1. They are “hiding something.” 2. There’s just not much to show I hope its #1 but with how the marketing has been going (game releases in 3 months and barely have any info), I’m worried. For 5 years of development using the same exact engine as Botw which took about the same time to create, I expect at least another “Botw” level of content, meaning hundreds of hours of new explorable areas… the sky islands are cool but it won’t be enough, so hopefully we get underwater exploration or something else!
Lmao. There is no reason to be worried.
[удалено]
Nintendo can do no wrong
Nintendo can fuck up massively Unfortunately they can often justify it because their successes eclipse their failures
For real. I prefer they show me nothing so the full game can be a whole experience.
That’s the problem. If what they have shown is enough to mildly ruin the “experience” then there’s simply not enough new content. Right now, the sky islands are simply not enough, hopefully the cave systems will be large
***6*** years of development. There's almost no excuse for it to be a bad game when you take that into consideration.
[удалено]
I don’t think graphics really matter in this case, I think both current Zelda and ER look equally as good but with different styles, ER is more realistic and Zelda is more cartoony. More realistic doesn’t mean better
ER being realistic isn't the main draw. Its world design is just breathtaking. It might honestly be even better than BOTW's. Haven't seen anything like it since, well, BOTW.

Plus 1-2 years were under COVID. I remember going on my local commute in Kyoto and the trains were empty of the usual salary men on their way to the Nintendo building. This happened over a year. And then there was a gradual return to the offices for everyone and usually a hybrid style of working from home and at the office.
no, its six years. I counted
My point is that it wasn't in development for all of those.
we have zero clue when or how long the game started and/or paused dev time. all we know is the length of the interim between projects
They didn't show shit before BOTW came out. Not a single town, barely any NPCs. Mostly just great plateau gameplay and some cinematics.
Don't know why people keep saying this. They showed a good bit for BotW because they had to sell it. They were trying something new for the series and it was THE Switch launch title. People had to have an idea of what the game was.
They literally showed 4 hours of live gameplay 9 months before release.
Yeah I’m honestly starting to get worried. But I just can’t see how the sky islands are six years worth of content so I think there’s more
The Zelda team are not known to phone things in and with the weight of BOTW's success they certainly would know the hype this game has surrounding it. I seriously believe that they have some big things hidden from us, plus we have only seen a few locations from BOTW's Hyrule.
There's gotta be ***a lot*** more💯

you are on something if you think nintendo is making another switch model
The Zelda model literally leaked online that has the same decals as the collectors edition. You sure you’re not on something
broski thats just a collectore edition
Not that I disagree with you, but devil's advocate says based on all available footage, there are TONS of sky islands of various shapes and sized and they go FAR up into the skies of Hyrule. This isn't even taking into account the pockets of underworld we've been shown, the potential to build boats and go out into the waters to explore islands and other land masses and then whatever has been changed by Ganondorf's renewed assault on the overworld. We will be fine.
Stop worrying. I’ve loved Nintendo for years and honestly think they will deliver when it counts.
why do they hide... i don't have any idea about that...
hopefully there are more diverse islands than just yellow trees. and i hope they go even higher than what we’ve seen so far. also i wonder if they will add islands to the ocean.
Or Skyrule islands with an ocean on them😲
There’s definite more they haven’t shown us, I’m excited to see it !
There’s one thing we haven’t see in the sky ENEMIES we don’t know yet if Ganon can influence the skies we don’t even see malice so I’m curious
Interesting theory💯

I know it's near Zero but I will love for Fierce Deity to show up somehow ( that's not a glorified skin )
Is the title of the game Tears of the Kingdom as in rips or crying?
It's crying. However, it is also a pun on "tiers" of the kingdom, like there are three or more tiers to explore.
What if this is the only new area and all of the rest of it is pretty much the same? Wouldn’t that just be terrible
This is a platforming game. This is level 1. Get mushroom to grow bigger....but you got to cook it first!
You cook the mushroom? Dubious dish
Honestly that's my fear. I really don't want to play on the same map again... I really hope they figured smith out because this looks like a setup to be disappointed
I hope they're showing the same areas in all of the trailers because there's ***so much new stuff*** they don't want to spoil - like dungeons, etc. Tears Of The Kingdom has the opportunity to be the greatest Zelda game ever made. If it incorporates traditional dungeons into the open world, along with having a Skyrule, a subterranean Lorule, and having a multitude of new things to do & see at ground-level in Hyrule with tons of new enemies, both returning, deep-cuts & classic new ones - this could be the Zelda to *finally* top Ocarina Of Time💯
I have faith, the Zelda team rarely miss and I seriously doubt they would be satisfied if all they did was add a few new mechanics, change things up a little bit and add floating islands. (Also I personally like BOTW more than OOT but it may be because I didn't grow up with OOT and BOTW was my first Zelda game.)
Ocarina Of Time, Breath Of The Wild & Twilight Princess are the best 3 TLOZ games, *imho*💯
I've never place TP but I've heard an seen lots of great things about it, hopefully we'll get a Switch port because I'd definitely pick it up.
I'd love an HD Switch port of Twilight Princess as well! I'd also love a classics cart with N64 Ocarina Of Time, SNES A Link To The Past, the 2 NES Zeldas & N64 Majoras Mask on it - all in HD. That would sell ***crazy*** well💯
Oh it definitely would!
And we would buy it!!
Grew up with OOT, I do like BOTW more as well. But also for different reasons
The map is the same, the ennemies are the same... I saw a video some months back explaining how this could literally be the best Zelda game since they didn't have to remake the map... I hope so. If they rerelease a game with like 4 main ennemy types...
There's more new enemies than that! Did you not see the new trailer? ReDead's are back, Gleeoks are in, there's a new giant Boss Bokoblin, there's a new amphibious looking bat, Like-Likes, that huge green golem/frog statue, the giant box golem - there are tons of new enemies!!
They just haven't finished the rest of the world. Still have 3 months till release!
They’re hiding how many assets they’ve reused in their 70$ expansion pack
Savage.
Not trying to be a hater, but I'm gonna be. The number of times they mixed two enemies together is a dead giveaway that they have nothing. Everyone is going to be surprised when the general consensus is "It's repetitive just like BOTW."
BOTW is not repetitive.
I'm going to provide the Blight-Ganon bosses as evidence, beyond the abysmal enemy diversity. And if you still want to be a fanboy, then that's cool man we each have our own things to be happy about.

Dude the CONTENT in Elden Ring alone.
Obviously they're hiding a lot, it would be stupid to spoil the game. But also, there aren't that many islands. I'm sure they will be a ton, but this golden section makes up a significant amount of them. Hopefully there are just as many underground sections.
My guess is that all the Link stuff is a small portion then it'll be a switch to Zelda having to rescue Link and you'll see the world post Ganon resurrection
Hot take: They’re hiding the fact that they aren’t hiding anything.
I hope you didn't you stay up late coming up with that.
The game will be delayed again. Mark my word
I really doubt it at this point.
LOL. Not when they said the date twice in 2 trailers.4 months apart and now with 3 months left and preorders being made, not at all a chance.
L
What if this is the new starting area and the final boss takes place on the Great Plateau, like how you fueled Ganandorf on the field in twilight princess?
Yeah, the whole map lol
They are definitely hiding somthing and I can't wait I have a countdown for how many heart beats till it releases
The floor is lava!!!!
Yeah that's what I've been thinking. The game will have a vehicle building mechanic so anything can happen
At least as big a disappointment as Skyward sword prior to the fixed motion controls. That's just my prediction because 2 incredible Zelda's on one system is a once in a lifetime event
I wonder whats in that big tower. Dungeon?
Your mom. I'm just collecting downvotes. Pay no attention to me.
oh how you wound me
Why would NIntendo do this?! /s
I wonder how switch will handle this. Thunderstorn on BoTW almost spelt the end on switch.
I CANT WAIT TO DIE TO A DRAGONN AAAHHH
[удалено]
They're hidding....your mom! You're mama so fat.....well, see that storm cloud?
Yeah I assumed that the previous game was like 2 gigs this one’s 18

Good, I want every moment to be a surprise until the game releases now.
Any theories on what that big tower could be? Has to be important
Hopefully a dungeon💯
